New Atlantis

Somewhere south of Alabama and north of Cuba There lies a beautiful whore of a city She accepts all donations and attracts an endless stream of lovers Colombian pushers and murderers American swindlers and Slavic thugs Because here a man can be himself But now, she's sinking into the sea New Atlantis, lying low (lying low) New Atlantis, sinking slow (sinking slow) New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (dumb as dirt) New Atlantis, she's a flirt As her doom became apparent Her magic only accelerated Because people are desperate For love and beauty You and I are designed for love Love, there is no chance of The Earth is ready to detonate In a fire of imperial emptiness New Atlantis, lying low (lying low) New Atlantis, sinking slow (sinking slow) New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (dumb as dirt) New Atlantis, she's a flirt New Atlantis, lying low (lying low) New Atlantis, sinking slow (sinking slow) Some say the world will end in fire Some say ice Me, I just see fewer birds, fish, butterflies Plenty of concrete though I run to Europe, I run to the Caribbean But coming here is the best thing I ever did Miami, I love you
